I MAN one went Inte hi cellar looking for k gas leak lth a lighted catidte.

A close relation of the mnri who denned the first conical cap squinted down

He found out, but he never used the Information.
Chicago was reduced e an nth hup because a watchman left a fW burn

dheref the most tragic c6nflagrntlens in the city of New Yerk would never
have been If a porter had extinguished his cigarette befere flinging it onto a rub
bish pile.
Every dnee In a while a town U Wanted Inte broken bits, and a few score

Every war has Its pathetic bungles.
A commanding officer once wrote out nn order se slovenly that an entire

Heedleeenem of ordinary precaution, disregard of vital little nets et
prudence, familiarity with and consequent contempt for common dangers, exact
their frightful dally tell In the coin of human life and personal and property less.
Every twenty-two minutes sotne one 1s injured en the street! of New Yerk,

The average man is criminally thoughtless and neglectful even of his own

Almest three-quarters of a million persons die-each year in the United States
from preventable disease.
Half of the 3,000,000 or mere sickbeds constantly kept filled in this 'coun

Fifteen years are lest te the ftverage life through neglect and fallure te apply
common, vital knowledge.
Almest 200,000 persons ere sick lh New Yerk and Chicago every day, the
great majority of them because they de net give te their bodies the attention they

In myriads of little ways carelessness keeps us from doing mere ami from
hating mere. Cnrlcss use of money, careless use of time, careless remarks and
insinuations, careless performance ,of dally duties, careless Incivilities, careless

If everybody Were Just a little bit morn carefulIf everybody were n let
less careless If carelessness were eliminated from the Category of unlversal ills
the world's moral, material and spiritual welfare would be vastly augmented
crerybedy, everywhere, would live lenjjcr, better and happier lives; the millen

It's a large "If" and It's everybody's business.

A Startling Test by One of the

HAT Ma2ela is

has again been demon
strated. This time by
Mrs. A. Louise An
drea, admittedly one
of the greatest experts
in modern cookery. Mrs. Andrea proved
that 2 lbs. of Mazela fried 244 lbs. of
potatoes. While 2 lbs. of lard fried only
7 lbs. 14 oz. of potatoes.
Tested with fish steaksene inch in
thickness, 2 lbs. of Mazela fried 25H lbsJ
while lard fried only 6Vz lbs. of fish.
Of doughnuts cut uniformly 2H inches
in diameter, 2 lbs. of Mazela fried 208,
while 2 lbs. of lard fried only 138.
Facts and Figures Prove Remark
able Economy
This proves conclusively that Mazela
gees mere than three times as far as lard
for frying potatoes; almost twice as far for
fish; and two-thirds farther than lard in
frying doughnuts.
In each test 4 lbs. of Mazela and 4 lbs.
of lard were fried down te 2 lbs.
This confirms the experience of seven
